MediPrint's 3D-printed NovaCast is breathable and lightweight, could replace itchy, smelly plaster casts in the future. Plaster casts have been common tool in a doctor’s arsenal for centuries. But like any medical tool that has been used for centuries, it’s not exactly foolproof. The accumulation of sweat and dirt and a lack of ventilation can cause infections and significant discomfort, so why not find a 21rst century alternative? That is, in essence, exactly what one Mexican startup is doing. Founded by a group of graduates from UNAMUniversity, MediPrint is working on the already patented NovaCast, a 3D printed customizable alternative for casts that can be washed and weighs up to ten times less than plaster.
Like so many startups, MediPrint actually started when one of its founders came across complications in his day life. “The project started when my mom had an accident at work and broke her left hand. They put her plaster cast on wrong, and they had to surgically fracture her hand again to replace it correctly. Unfortunately, they again placed the splint wrong and finally diagnosed her with 50 percent disability in that hand,” said co-founder ZaidBadwan. Badwan therefore assembled a team of UNAM graduates that also includes Andrés Souza, CarlosHansen, Ulises Martinez and Nahme Pineda, with plenty of engineering, management, entrepreneurship, business, programming, 3D modeling and printing experience between them.
As Badwan, who has a background in Mechanical Engineering, explains, plaster is actually not a very hygienic medical material at all. “The material with which conventional splints are made is plaster, which is highly hygroscopic. This means that it absorbs sweat and causes the bacteria to proliferate because there almost no ventilation,” he explained. In worst case scenarios, you can lose a limb because of the complications caused by ulcers. Sometimes bones do not properly heal due to badly placed casts either.
That’s exactly why the NovaCast is such an appealing alternative. Made with 3D printing, it is not only ten times lighter than cumbersome plaster casts, but it is also removable, visually appealing and can be personalized. Most importantly, you can bathe with it, preventing the accumulation of bacteria. While some medical professionals rely on 3D scans or CT scan data to generate 3D printable medical accessories, the NovaCast is actually generated by an algorithm. “It only requires that the doctor enters the data, before it automatically generates the ideal geometry for 3D printing,” Badwan explains. Not only does this save hardware costs, it also means medical professionals won’t have to work with CAD software while they should be working with patients.
Because the NovaCast is so thin, it can be 3D printed in just three to four hours, depending on the size of the limb and cast. “We are currently doing research and development to reduce that time to one hour. The next steps are bringing this technology to hospitals and increase the number of 3D printers,” Badwan says. “We are getting advice from several specialists provide medical backing, and we are also still constantly searching for new solutions to the problems that people face every day when they require a medical device,” he says. It is expected that the final device will be around a third cheaper than existing alternatives – perfect for the poorer regions of Mexico.
The first results of their work are already paying off. Several months ago, they helped an elderly lady who was expected to spend a year in bed after breaking her hip. “We did a 3D scan of the lady and create a medical device that is perfectly adjusted to the shape of her body. It was reinforced with carbon fiber, which made it lighter and more resilient. The doctor approved it and the next day after placement, the patient was walking again,” Badwan said.
Though their NovaCast is still under development, MediPrint recently found a big boost on Mexican crowdfunding platform fondeadora.mx, where they raised more than $8000 USD to extend their 3D printing capacity with a high volume 3D printer. “Having a new printer will allow us to have more machine time, which we will use to continue their research, modify and improve their machines and avoid the unfortunate dilemma between producing or continuing innovation,” they say. The startup has also received financial backing the Mexican National Entrepreneur Institute Inadem, and have also found success in a competition organized by the Society of Former Students of the Faculty of Engineering of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), winning 150,000 pesos (more than $8500 USD). All those funds will be used to increase their 3D printing capacity.

Three-dimensional printing has advanced into the realm of human body parts.
Researchers affiliated with the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine have announced in a recent study that they have developed a special 3-D printer that is able to produce what they call “living tissue structures.”
Specifically, the parts they have been able to create through this method are ears, jawbones, and muscles.
The key to Wake Forest’s system is their printer’s ability to extrude a mixture of hydrogels, a substance with human cells in it, and materials which provide structure but eventually dissolve.
As such, it allows for the formation of sponge-like channels which can be used to get nutrients to interior cells; in previous efforts, the cells would often starve and die.
According to the press release, ahttp://www.bbc.com/news/health-35581454fter the structures were implanted in animals, they “matured into functional tissue and developed a system of blood vessels.”
It goes on to state that the results are promising for the potential viability in humans.
However, this possibility is still years off, as is the ultimate goal is to create custom parts for specific individuals.

Mind blowing creations from 3 dimensional printed objects.
Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/9CwQhg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Ever sinceJohannes Gutenberg invented the printing press around 1439, we have been obsessed with creating the perfect printer to preserve and put our ideas on paper. The printing press was probably one of the most innovative and life-changing inventions as it made literacy more accessible. No longer did people have to write and transcribe thousands of pages, one at a time. But instead, books like the Bible could be mass produced at a quick pace. Over the hundreds of years since Gutenberg’s invention, the printer has evolved into devices like the typewriter and the laser jet printer. But today, in the 21st century, the printer has taken a dramatic turn that will change our society just as much as Gutenberg’s printing press changed his society: the 3D printer. This isn’t science fiction, this is the real deal, and it’s coming to a home or business near you.
The 3D printer is a technological breakthrough that involves a computer communicating with the printer to create layers as it “prints” a 3D creation from the computer. Layer upon layer is laid down as the object comes to life. Stemming back to the 1980’s, the 3D printer has gone through many trials, tests, and breakthroughs, and they are now becoming available to the regular household market. Today, you can do more than make a 3D printing of that flower you designed on your computer. People have started to print functional guns, cars, and houses. All it takes is some patience and intricate design. This can be both good and a bad thing, especially since guns can now become available to nearly anyone who can print them at home.
In Japan, 3D printers have become available on the streets where people can have 48 cameras take a photo of them, and then create a little 3D figurine of themselves. It’s quite an interesting device and people can create 3D figures of celebrities, animals, objects, and more. 3D printing can even create food, and nursing homes are taking advantage of it because they can create softer foods that look like real food. The 3D printing world has also made a huge impact in the medical field, as custom prosthetics can be printed as well as other body parts like bones. This will be able to cut the cost of manufacturing prosthetics and can make body parts more accessible to the disabled. Speaking of the medical field, just like how food can be printed, doctors are also experimenting with the printing of medications. Pretty soon, you won’t need to stand in long lines at the pharmacy and you can print your medications instead.
Believe it or not, this is just the beginning of the 3D printing world, and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Just like how the internet slowly crept into our lives, this amazing type of technology will likely be in every household in the next decade. It truly is looking like our lives will be something out of a science fiction film or comic.

3D printing

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to various processes used to synthesize a three-dimensional object. In 3D printing, successive layers of material are formed under computer control to create an object. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry and are produced from a 3D model or other electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.

Futurologists such as Jeremy Rifkin believe that 3D printing signals the beginning of a third industrial revolution, succeeding the production line assembly that dominated manufacturing starting in the late 19th century. Using the power of the Internet, it may eventually be possible to send a blueprint of any product to any place in the world to be replicated by a 3D printer with "elemental inks" capable of being combined into any material substance of any desired form.

3D printing in the term's original sense refers to processes that sequentially deposit material onto a powder bed with inkjet printer heads. More recently, the meaning of the term has expanded to encompass a wider variety of techniques such as extrusion and sintering-based processes. Technical standards generally use the term additive manufacturing for this broader sense.

John M. Ford

John Milo "Mike" Ford (April 10, 1957 – September 25, 2006) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer, game designer, and poet.

Ford was regarded (and obituaries, tributes and memories describe him) as an extraordinarily intelligent, erudite and witty man. He was a popular contributor to several online discussions. He composed poems, often improvised, in both complicated forms and blank verse, notably Shakespearean pastiche; he also wrote pastiches and parodies of many other authors and styles. At Minicon and other science fiction conventions he would perform "Ask Dr. Mike", giving humorous answers to scientific and other questions in a lab coat before a whiteboard.

STL (file format)

STL (STereoLithography) is a file format native to the stereolithographyCAD software created by 3D Systems. STL has several after-the-fact backronyms such as "Standard Triangle Language" and "Standard Tessellation Language". This file format is supported by many other software packages; it is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing and computer-aided manufacturing. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture or other common CAD model attributes. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. Binary files are more common, since they are more compact.

Researchers affiliated with the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine have announced in a recent study that they have developed a special 3-D printer that is able to produce what they call “living tissue structures.”
Specifically, the parts they have been able to create through this method are ears, jawbones, and muscles.
The key to Wake Forest’s system is their printer’s ability to extrude a mixture of hydrogels, a substance with human cells in it, and materials which provide structure but eventually dissolve.
As such, it allows for the formation of sponge-like channels which can be used to get nutrients to interior cells; in previous efforts, the cells would often starve and die.
According to the press release, ahttp://www.bbc.com/news/health-35581454fter the structures were implanted in animals, they “matured into functional tissue and developed a system of blood vessels.”
It goes on to state that the results are promising for the potential viability in humans.
However, this possibility is still years off, as is the ultimate goal is to create custom parts for specific individuals.

Description:
Ever sinceJohannes Gutenberg invented the printing press around 1439, we have been obsessed with creating the perfect printer to preserve and put our ideas on paper. The printing press was probably one of the most innovative and life-changing inventions as it made literacy more accessible. No longer did people have to write and transcribe thousands of pages, one at a time. But instead, books like the Bible could be mass produced at a quick pace. Over the hundreds of years since Gutenberg’s invention, the printer has evolved into devices like the typewriter and the laser jet printer. But today, in the 21st century, the printer has taken a dramatic turn that will change our society just as much as Gutenberg’s printing press changed his society: the 3D printer. This isn’t science fiction, this is the real deal, and it’s coming to a home or business near you.
The 3D printer is a technological breakthrough that involves a computer communicating with the printer to create layers as it “prints” a 3D creation from the computer. Layer upon layer is laid down as the object comes to life. Stemming back to the 1980’s, the 3D printer has gone through many trials, tests, and breakthroughs, and they are now becoming available to the regular household market. Today, you can do more than make a 3D printing of that flower you designed on your computer. People have started to print functional guns, cars, and houses. All it takes is some patience and intricate design. This can be both good and a bad thing, especially since guns can now become available to nearly anyone who can print them at home.
In Japan, 3D printers have become available on the streets where people can have 48 cameras take a photo of them, and then create a little 3D figurine of themselves. It’s quite an interesting device and people can create 3D figures of celebrities, animals, objects, and more. 3D printing can even create food, and nursing homes are taking advantage of it because they can create softer foods that look like real food. The 3D printing world has also made a huge impact in the medical field, as custom prosthetics can be printed as well as other body parts like bones. This will be able to cut the cost of manufacturing prosthetics and can make body parts more accessible to the disabled. Speaking of the medical field, just like how food can be printed, doctors are also experimenting with the printing of medications. Pretty soon, you won’t need to stand in long lines at the pharmacy and you can print your medications instead.
Believe it or not, this is just the beginning of the 3D printing world, and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Just like how the internet slowly crept into our lives, this amazing type of technology will likely be in every household in the next decade. It truly is looking like our lives will be something out of a science fiction film or comic.

3D Printing For Medical Applications

Presented by Michael Gaisford, Director of Marketing-Medical Solutions, Stratasys.
Michael Gaisford explains the differences in FDM and Polyjet 3D printing technology and the many ways each can be utilized in medical applications.
--------------------------------------------------
So a little bit about Stratasys and who we are. We're a company that's been around for over 25 years. 3D printing for a lot of people is a new technology. You're seeing it on Grey's Anatomy and other shows as something that is brand new. Or you haven't really seen it necessarily, but it has been around for a while.
Actually, 3D printing in the medical space goes back a couple of decades. It's one of the earlier applications, but as a company, we've been around for 25 years. We're a global company. And we really pride ourselves in our technology leadership, in terms of all the intellectual property, and patents, and awards that we've received for innovation.

Awesome 3D Printing of Orthopaedic Models - Medical Stereolithography

This video shows how ACRM Corp is using innovating 3D printing technology (stereolithography) to produce exact replicas of body parts using CT scans. This 3D printing replicates the slices of a CT scan and prints orthopaedic models for use in presurgical planning. Typically, these models are used to plan for scoliosis or kyphosis surgeries, and are quite often used in evaluating craniosynostosis cases. They have also been used in complex maxillofacial surgical procedures.
These custom anatomical models are patient specific and can typically be produced and delivered in less than two days from receipt of the CT scan. Visit http://www.ACRMcorp.com for more details.

In an age where new medical technologies are in such high demand, wouldn't a 3D bioprinter be useful? In this talk, Dr. Sam Wadsworth explains he sees a future full of bioprinted human airways and organs.
Sam is a scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur. He completed his Ph.D. in respiratory cell biology in the UK before relocating to Vancouver in 2007 to work as an academic researcher at St. Paul’s Hospital. In 2013, Sam co-founded a biotechnology company that uses a unique bioprinting technology that has the potential to revolutionise how we treat disease and the ageing process. He sees a future where human tissues can be provided on demand, where donor organs are built, not harvested, and where drugs are tested on bioprinted artificial tissues, not animals.

Cancer patient receives 3D printed ribs manufactured by Anatomics

Cancer patient receives 3D printed ribs manufactured by Anatomics

Cancer patient receives 3D printed ribs manufactured by Anatomics

A Spanish cancer patient has received a titanium sternum and rib cage designed and manufactured by Melbourne-based medical device company Anatomics and printed utilising our 3D printing facility, Lab 22.
Suffering from a chest wall sarcoma (a type of cancerous tumour that grows, in this instance, around the rib cage), the 54 year old man needed his sternum and a portion of his rib cage replaced. This part of the chest is notoriously tricky to recreate with prosthetics, due to the complex geometry and design required for each patient.
So the patient’s surgical team determined that a fully customisable 3D printed sternum and rib cage was the best option.

UPDATED TUTORIAL: An easier and faster method of making bone STLs https://youtu.be/c3LgY0W5QSo
Link to prior tutorial on selecting a good scan for 3D printing: http://goo.gl/SDkShX
In this video tutorial, you will learn how to convert a medical scan, such as CT or MRI, and convert it into a 3D printable model using free and open source software Osirix, Blender, and MeshMixer. This tutorial is part of a series. You can learn more about 3D printing of medical scans here: http://www.embodi3d.com/tutorials.htmlDr. Mike returns with an in-depth tutorial on how to get the most out of medical 3D printing software. The free 3D printing programs Osirix, Blender, and Meshmixer are used and explained. Packed into this video and tutorial viewers will find detailed steps of how to turn a traditional DICOM-based medical image into an STL file ready to become an incredibly useful 3D printable skull medical model.
This guide on converting a DICOM medical image into an STL file uses Osirix, which is a program exclusive to Macintosh operating systems. Those using Windows or Linux may still find useful information in this tutorial, but system-specific guides for these systems are on their way. Be sure to keep an eye out for them! In addition to Osirix, files will also make stops in the programs Blender and Meshmixer on their journeys to becoming 3D printable medical models.
Before getting started, Dr. Mike directs viewers’ attention to the file pack provided. This contains the skull image that is used in the demonstration, making it a must-download for those who want to follow along exactly with Dr. Mike to produce a high-quality skull model for 3D printing. Definitions of DICOM, STL, and Osirix are provided, as well as an explanation of why DICOM files must be STL files to be printed as 3D medical models.
Dr. Mike starts by having users open their DICOM files in Osirix. From this point, there are some technical instructions to which viewers will want to give close attention. The specific directions accompanying each step should leave viewers without any points of confusion and feeling comfortable using features such as the Region of Interest (ROI) tool to measure Hounsfield density as they segment the skull image to create a new series. After walking viewers through creating a bitmapped series using a skull CT scan, Dr. Mike shows users how to complete 3D surface rendering of the image to generate an STL file from it using Osirix.
When Osirix finishes converting the file to STL format, the next destination is Blender, a free open-source 3D software program. In Blender, Dr. Mike walks users through essential tasks such as centering the 3D object in space, cleaning up the mesh, and smoothing the surface while providing helpful details, such as what a “Blender unit” is. As with Osirix, several of the steps in Blender can be a bit complex, so viewers not comfortable with this program will want to tune in closely!
The final step makes use of Meshmixer, another free software package that is a must-have for these types of projects. Dr. Mike shows users how to inspect their 3D printable medical image for defects using Meshmixer as they complete the last steps required to convert a DICOM-based medical scan to an STL file needed to make a 3D medical model ready for printing!
Before closing, Dr. Mike directs viewers to other indispensable resources he provides, such as additional must-see tutorials and 3D medical models already in STL format ready to be printed!

MediPrint's 3D-printed NovaCast is breathable and lightweight, could replace itchy, smelly plaster casts in the future. Plaster casts have been common tool in a doctor’s arsenal for centuries. But like any medical tool that has been used for centuries, it’s not exactly foolproof. The accumulation of sweat and dirt and a lack of ventilation can cause infections and significant discomfort, so why not find a 21rst century alternative? That is, in essence, exactly what one Mexican startup is doing. Founded by a group of graduates from UNAMUniversity, MediPrint is working on the already patented NovaCast, a 3D printed customizable alternative for casts that can be washed and weighs up to ten times less than plaster.
Like so many startups, MediPrint actually started when one of its founders ca...

MediPrint's 3D-printed NovaCast is breathable and lightweight, could replace itchy, smelly plaster casts in the future. Plaster casts have been common tool in a doctor’s arsenal for centuries. But like any medical tool that has been used for centuries, it’s not exactly foolproof. The accumulation of sweat and dirt and a lack of ventilation can cause infections and significant discomfort, so why not find a 21rst century alternative? That is, in essence, exactly what one Mexican startup is doing. Founded by a group of graduates from UNAMUniversity, MediPrint is working on the already patented NovaCast, a 3D printed customizable alternative for casts that can be washed and weighs up to ten times less than plaster.
Like so many startups, MediPrint actually started when one of its founders came across complications in his day life. “The project started when my mom had an accident at work and broke her left hand. They put her plaster cast on wrong, and they had to surgically fracture her hand again to replace it correctly. Unfortunately, they again placed the splint wrong and finally diagnosed her with 50 percent disability in that hand,” said co-founder ZaidBadwan. Badwan therefore assembled a team of UNAM graduates that also includes Andrés Souza, CarlosHansen, Ulises Martinez and Nahme Pineda, with plenty of engineering, management, entrepreneurship, business, programming, 3D modeling and printing experience between them.
As Badwan, who has a background in Mechanical Engineering, explains, plaster is actually not a very hygienic medical material at all. “The material with which conventional splints are made is plaster, which is highly hygroscopic. This means that it absorbs sweat and causes the bacteria to proliferate because there almost no ventilation,” he explained. In worst case scenarios, you can lose a limb because of the complications caused by ulcers. Sometimes bones do not properly heal due to badly placed casts either.
That’s exactly why the NovaCast is such an appealing alternative. Made with 3D printing, it is not only ten times lighter than cumbersome plaster casts, but it is also removable, visually appealing and can be personalized. Most importantly, you can bathe with it, preventing the accumulation of bacteria. While some medical professionals rely on 3D scans or CT scan data to generate 3D printable medical accessories, the NovaCast is actually generated by an algorithm. “It only requires that the doctor enters the data, before it automatically generates the ideal geometry for 3D printing,” Badwan explains. Not only does this save hardware costs, it also means medical professionals won’t have to work with CAD software while they should be working with patients.
Because the NovaCast is so thin, it can be 3D printed in just three to four hours, depending on the size of the limb and cast. “We are currently doing research and development to reduce that time to one hour. The next steps are bringing this technology to hospitals and increase the number of 3D printers,” Badwan says. “We are getting advice from several specialists provide medical backing, and we are also still constantly searching for new solutions to the problems that people face every day when they require a medical device,” he says. It is expected that the final device will be around a third cheaper than existing alternatives – perfect for the poorer regions of Mexico.
The first results of their work are already paying off. Several months ago, they helped an elderly lady who was expected to spend a year in bed after breaking her hip. “We did a 3D scan of the lady and create a medical device that is perfectly adjusted to the shape of her body. It was reinforced with carbon fiber, which made it lighter and more resilient. The doctor approved it and the next day after placement, the patient was walking again,” Badwan said.
Though their NovaCast is still under development, MediPrint recently found a big boost on Mexican crowdfunding platform fondeadora.mx, where they raised more than $8000 USD to extend their 3D printing capacity with a high volume 3D printer. “Having a new printer will allow us to have more machine time, which we will use to continue their research, modify and improve their machines and avoid the unfortunate dilemma between producing or continuing innovation,” they say. The startup has also received financial backing the Mexican National Entrepreneur Institute Inadem, and have also found success in a competition organized by the Society of Former Students of the Faculty of Engineering of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), winning 150,000 pesos (more than $8500 USD). All those funds will be used to increase their 3D printing capacity.

Three-dimensional printing has advanced into the realm of human body parts. Researchers with the Wake ForestInstitute for Regenerative Medicine have announced in a recent study that they have developed a special 3-D printer that is able to produce what they call “living tissue structures.”
Three-dimensional printing has advanced into the realm of human body parts.
Researchers affiliated with the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine have announced in a recent study that they have developed a special 3-D printer that is able to produce what they call “living tissue structures.”
Specifically, the parts they have been able to create through this method are ears, jawbones, and muscles.
The key to Wake Forest’s system is their printer’s ability to extrude a mixture of hydrogels, a substance with human cells in it, and materials which provide structure but eventually dissolve.
As such, it allows for the formation of sponge-like channels which can be used to get nutrients to interior cells; in previous efforts, the cells would often starve and die.
According to the press release, ahttp://www.bbc.com/news/health-35581454fter the structures were implanted in animals, they “matured into functional tissue and developed a system of blood vessels.”
It goes on to state that the results are promising for the potential viability in humans.
However, this possibility is still years off, as is the ultimate goal is to create custom parts for specific individuals.

Description:
Ever sinceJohannes Gutenberg invented the printing press around 1439, we have been obsessed with creating the perfect printer to preserve and put our ideas on paper. The printing press was probably one of the most innovative and life-changing inventions as it made literacy more accessible. No longer did people have to write and transcribe thousands of pages, one at a time. But instead, books like the Bible could be mass produced at a quick pace. Over the hundreds of years since Gutenberg’s invention, the printer has evolved into devices like the typewriter and the laser jet printer. But today, in the 21st century, the printer has taken a dramatic turn that will change our society just as much as Gutenberg’s printing press changed his society: the 3D printer. This isn’t science fiction, this is the real deal, and it’s coming to a home or business near you.
The 3D printer is a technological breakthrough that involves a computer communicating with the printer to create layers as it “prints” a 3D creation from the computer. Layer upon layer is laid down as the object comes to life. Stemming back to the 1980’s, the 3D printer has gone through many trials, tests, and breakthroughs, and they are now becoming available to the regular household market. Today, you can do more than make a 3D printing of that flower you designed on your computer. People have started to print functional guns, cars, and houses. All it takes is some patience and intricate design. This can be both good and a bad thing, especially since guns can now become available to nearly anyone who can print them at home.
In Japan, 3D printers have become available on the streets where people can have 48 cameras take a photo of them, and then create a little 3D figurine of themselves. It’s quite an interesting device and people can create 3D figures of celebrities, animals, objects, and more. 3D printing can even create food, and nursing homes are taking advantage of it because they can create softer foods that look like real food. The 3D printing world has also made a huge impact in the medical field, as custom prosthetics can be printed as well as other body parts like bones. This will be able to cut the cost of manufacturing prosthetics and can make body parts more accessible to the disabled. Speaking of the medical field, just like how food can be printed, doctors are also experimenting with the printing of medications. Pretty soon, you won’t need to stand in long lines at the pharmacy and you can print your medications instead.
Believe it or not, this is just the beginning of the 3D printing world, and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Just like how the internet slowly crept into our lives, this amazing type of technology will likely be in every household in the next decade. It truly is looking like our lives will be something out of a science fiction film or comic.

This video shows how ACRM Corp is using innovating 3D printing technology (stereolithography) to produce exact replicas of body parts using CT scans. This 3D printing replicates the slices of a CT scan and prints orthopaedic models for use in presurgical planning. Typically, these models are used to plan for scoliosis or kyphosis surgeries, and are quite often used in evaluating craniosynostosis cases. They have also been used in complex maxillofacial surgical procedures.
These custom anatomical models are patient specific and can typically be produced and delivered in less than two days from receipt of the CT scan. Visit http://www.ACRMcorp.com for more details.

In an age where new medical technologies are in such high demand, wouldn't a 3D bioprinter be useful? In this talk, Dr. Sam Wadsworth explains he sees a future full of bioprinted human airways and organs.
Sam is a scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur. He completed his Ph.D. in respiratory cell biology in the UK before relocating to Vancouver in 2007 to work as an academic researcher at St. Paul’s Hospital. In 2013, Sam co-founded a biotechnology company that uses a unique bioprinting technology that has the potential to revolutionise how we treat disease and the ageing process. He sees a future where human tissues can be provided on demand, where donor organs are built, not harvested, and where drugs are tested on bioprinted artificial tissues, not animals.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

He completed his Ph.D. in respiratory cell biology in the UK before relocating to Vancouver in 2007 to work as an academic researcher at St. Paul’s Hospital. In 2013, Sam co-founded a biotechnology company that uses a unique bioprinting technology that has the potential to revolutionise how we treat disease and the ageing process. He sees a future where human tissues can be provided on demand, where donor organs are built, not harvested, and where drugs are tested on bioprinted artificial tissues, not animals.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

A Spanish cancer patient has received a titanium sternum and rib cage designed and manufactured by Melbourne-based medical device company Anatomics and printed utilising our 3D printing facility, Lab 22.
Suffering from a chest wall sarcoma (a type of cancerous tumour that grows, in this instance, around the rib cage), the 54 year old man needed his sternum and a portion of his rib cage replaced. This part of the chest is notoriously tricky to recreate with prosthetics, due to the complex geometry and design required for each patient.
So the patient’s surgical team determined that a fully customisable 3D printed sternum and rib cage was the best option.

Link to prior tutorial on selecting a good scan for 3D printing: http://goo.gl/SDkShX
In this video tutorial, you will learn how to convert a medical scan, such as CT or MRI, and convert it into a 3D printable model using free and open source software Osirix, Blender, and MeshMixer. This tutorial is part of a series. You can learn more about 3D printing of medical scans here: http://www.embodi3d.com/tutorials.htmlDr. Mike returns with an in-depth tutorial on how to get the most out of medical 3D printing software. The free 3D printing programs Osirix, Blender, and Meshmixer are used and explained. Packed into this video and tutorial viewers will find detailed steps of how to turn a traditional DICOM-based medical image into an STL file ready to become an incredibly useful 3D printable skull medical model.
This guide on converting a DICOM medical image into an STL file uses Osirix, which is a program exclusive to Macintosh operating systems. Those using Windows or Linux may still find useful information in this tutorial, but system-specific guides for these systems are on their way. Be sure to keep an eye out for them! In addition to Osirix, files will also make stops in the programs Blender and Meshmixer on their journeys to becoming 3D printable medical models.
Before getting started, Dr. Mike directs viewers’ attention to the file pack provided. This contains the skull image that is used in the demonstration, making it a must-download for those who want to follow along exactly with Dr. Mike to produce a high-quality skull model for 3D printing. Definitions of DICOM, STL, and Osirix are provided, as well as an explanation of why DICOM files must be STL files to be printed as 3D medical models.
Dr. Mike starts by having users open their DICOM files in Osirix. From this point, there are some technical instructions to which viewers will want to give close attention. The specific directions accompanying each step should leave viewers without any points of confusion and feeling comfortable using features such as the Region of Interest (ROI) tool to measure Hounsfield density as they segment the skull image to create a new series. After walking viewers through creating a bitmapped series using a skull CT scan, Dr. Mike shows users how to complete 3D surface rendering of the image to generate an STL file from it using Osirix.
When Osirix finishes converting the file to STL format, the next destination is Blender, a free open-source 3D software program. In Blender, Dr. Mike walks users through essential tasks such as centering the 3D object in space, cleaning up the mesh, and smoothing the surface while providing helpful details, such as what a “Blender unit” is. As with Osirix, several of the steps in Blender can be a bit complex, so viewers not comfortable with this program will want to tune in closely!
The final step makes use of Meshmixer, another free software package that is a must-have for these types of projects. Dr. Mike shows users how to inspect their 3D printable medical image for defects using Meshmixer as they complete the last steps required to convert a DICOM-based medical scan to an STL file needed to make a 3D medical model ready for printing!
Before closing, Dr. Mike directs viewers to other indispensable resources he provides, such as additional must-see tutorials and 3D medical models already in STL format ready to be printed!

3D Printing and Orthopedic Surgery - Science Cafe

The popularity and complexity of 3D printing is expanding and medical applications are growing. 3D printing has clear benefits in orthopedic surgery because 3D-printed implants can have shapes that match the shapes of the bone and tissues they are replacing. The mechanical properties of 3D-printed implants can be tweaked by making implants porous. Features can be added to implants to articulate them with other implants and reattach tendons and ligaments. 3D printing has also allowed orthopedic clinicians to replicate bones and joints using polymers. These polymer replicas enhance the understanding of complex deformities and can be used to rehearse surgical procedures.

The Ultimaker 3 Extended is the subject of this review by Dr. Mike. Presented by embodi3D.com, this video provides viewers with helpful information for deciding if the Ultimaker 3 Extended is adequate for their needs. Dr. Mike begins by unpacking the box and setting up the device. The focus here is on medical 3D printing beginning with unboxing and setup, all they way through printing several medical models.
This analysis measures the potential of the Ultimaker 3 Extended for 3D printing medical models. As Dr. Mike explains, the complex geometry and large size of 3D medical models makes printing them more complicated than 3D printable engineering projects.
The Ultimaker 3 Extended is a fused deposition modeling or FDM 3D printer that utilizes two extrusion cores. Taller than the regular Ultimaker 3 by 3.9 inches in vertical build height, the dimensions of the Ultimaker 3 Extended are 8.5. x 8.5 x 11.8 inches (21.5 x 21.5 x 30cm).
The cost varies among the supported printing materials, which includes filaments made of nylon, PLA, ABS, CPE, and PVA. Solubility in water makes PVA an excellent option for support material in 3D printed models, as it can easily be removed by being submerged in water.
The Ultimaker 3 Extended is ready to print layers as thin as 20 microns after some minor assembly. In addition to Ultimaker 3 Extended itself, the retail price of $4300 also includes 2 rolls of filament, a power cable, a glass build plate, and more.After a walkthrough of the steps to setting up, Dr. Mike demonstrates the capabilities of the Ultimaker 3 Extended.
Dr. Mike uses silver PLA with water-soluble PVA support for the lumbar vertebra done in the first example and the celiac artery done in the second example. Both of these small models are successfully 3D printed by the Ultimaker 3 Extended!
An obstructive piece of filament causes an error between examples 2 and 3, but this is overcome.
A full-sized brain is the third example. Success on this model is delayed until the 7th attempt due to mishaps like running out of materials during printing, build plate adhesion issues, and a possible software crash.
The final example is a tall lumbar spine model. This effort is also plagued with errors, including a near catastrophe where the glass plate is nearly ejected from the printer! After this happens twice, Dr. Mike aborts his attempt to print the lumbar spine model.
Using the Ultimaker 3 Extended led to a success rate of 21.4% (3 successes/14 attempts). Dr. Mike lists the large build volume, inexpensive material required, availability of water-soluble material, and good performance on short prints as pros of the Ultimaker 3 Extended.
The unreliability on tall prints, slow speed on full build volume prints that can take up to a week, high maintenance and supervision requirements, and glitchy firmware are the cons Dr. Mike gives for this 3D printer.
The magic of creating 3D printable medical models begins with the right device! This review on the Ultimaker 3 Extended and Dr. Mike’s other resources on embodi3D.com can help viewers make the best choice when choosing a 3D printer.

In Blender, Dr. Mike walks users through essential tasks such as centering the 3D object in space, cleaning up the mesh, and smoothing the surface while providing helpful details, such as what a “Blender unit” is. As with Osirix, several of the steps in Blender can be a bit complex, so viewers not comfortable with this program will want to tune in closely!
The final step makes use of Meshmixer, another free software package that is a must-have for these types of projects. Dr. Mike shows users how to inspect their 3D printable medical image for defects using Meshmixer as they complete the last steps required to convert a DICOM-based medical scan to an STL file needed to make a 3D medical model ready for printing!
Before closing, Dr. Mike directs viewers to other indispensable resources he provides, such as additional must-see tutorials and 3D medical models already in STL format ready to be printed!

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to convert a medical scan, such as CT or MRI, and convert it into a 3D printable model using free and open source software Osirix, Blender, and MeshMixer. This tutorial is part of a series. You can learn more about 3D printing of medical scans here: http://www.embodi3d.com/tutorials.htmlDr. Mike returns with an in-depth tutorial on how to get the most out of medical 3D printing software. The free 3D printing programs Osirix, Blender, and Meshmixer are used and explained. Packed into this video and tutorial viewers will find detailed steps of how to turn a traditional DICOM-based medical image into an STL file ready to become an incredibly useful 3D printable skull medical model.
This guide on converting a DICOM medical image into an STL file uses Osirix, which is a program exclusive to Macintosh operating systems. Those using Windows or Linux may still find useful information in this tutorial, but system-specific guides for these systems are on their way. Be sure to keep an eye out for them! In addition to Osirix, files will also make stops in the programs Blender and Meshmixer on their journeys to becoming 3D printable medical models.
Before getting started, Dr. Mike directs viewers’ attention to the file pack provided. This contains the skull image that is used in the demonstration, making it a must-download for those who want to follow along exactly with Dr. Mike to produce a high-quality skull model for 3D printing. Definitions of DICOM, STL, and Osirix are provided, as well as an explanation of why DICOM files must be STL files to be printed as 3D medical models.
Dr. Mike starts by having users open their DICOM files in Osirix. From this point, there are some technical instructions to which viewers will want to give close attention. The specific directions accompanying each step should leave viewers without any points of confusion and feeling comfortable using features such as the Region of Interest (ROI) tool to measure Hounsfield density as they segment the skull image to create a new series. After walking viewers through creating a bitmapped series using a skull CT scan, Dr. Mike shows users how to complete 3D surface rendering of the image to generate an STL file from it using Osirix.
When Osirix finishes converting the file to STL format, the next destination is Blender, a free open-source 3D software program.

A ridiculously easy and free way to make 3D printable bones from CT scans

This video discusses Imag3D, a free and super easy online service for converting CT scans to 3D printable bone STL files.
DICOM and NRRD files: https://goo.gl/zdmONh
Download finished STL file: https://goo.gl/lGcYQG
Complete tutorial: https://goo.gl/ibz8tC
Advanced tutorial: https://youtu.be/9d0JmrsqmBQ
democratiz3D application: http://www.embodi3d.com/democratiz3D/
Creating bone models with 3D printing from CT scans is made simple with this can’t-miss tutorial by Dr. Mike. Completing the conversion from CT scan to STL file can be achieved quickly using the free programs 3D Slicer and democratiz3D along with Dr. Mike’s detailed instructions. This new method replaces expensive commercial software with an easy to use online tool called democratiz3D (it was called Imag3D but was renamed after this video was publshed). Instead of taking months to learn complicated software, democratiz3D allows users to upload their file and within minutes have an STL file ready for medical 3D printing.
Use of democratiz3D is limited to those who have a free embodi3D member account. Not only is signing up for embodi3D fast, easy, and without cost, but members also gain access to a plethora of benefits. Supporting file packages containing example files for this and other tutorials by Dr. Mike are among the perks that come with being a member.
To begin the process a CT scan file is needed. The CT scan contains the DICOM files which are then convert to an NRRD file and are processed into an STL file. If you don’t’ have a CT scan, a sample chest abdomen pelvis CT in both DICOM and NRRD formats is available to embodi3D members. This package is part of a huge online library containing HIPAA-friendly files that can be downloaded and used for medical 3D printing projects. Patients or physicians wanting a 3D printable bone model of a specific image can check with the imaging department of the facility where the scan was done.
Before converting files with democratiz3D, viewers will need to use 3DSlicer found at slicer.org. Slicer is free software used to change the CT scan from the standard DICOM format to the anonymized NRRD format necessary for conversion to an STL file. Additionally, NRRD files are preferable since the entire medical imaging study will be stored as a single file instead of multiple files, as it is in a DICOM format.
After the file is converted from DICOM format to an NRRD file, it is ready to be uploaded into democratiz3D on embodi3D.com. With democratiz3D, users will complete the conversion of their CT scan file into an STL file that can be used for printing 3D bone medical models. Only 10-20 minutes should be needed before notification comes that democratiz3D processing is complete. Dr. Mike provides guidance for viewers through the entire process. After democratiz3D has converted the NRRD file to an STL file, viewers receive final instructions for selling files on embodi3d.com or sharing them with the embodi3D community.
Several aspects of creating 3D printable bone models from CT scans may seem daunting. Medical 3D printing can cost thousands of dollars and take months of training. Dr. Mike eliminates the steep learning curve and high cost by offering this reliable and free method for creating STL files from medical images. You can go from DICOM files to a 3D printable STL bone model file in very little time with democratiz3D and Dr. Mike.

ScienceDocumentary: 3D Printing, 3D Imaging, UltraFast Laser Imaging Technology3D printing is a revolution of the digital age, affecting both manufactures and consumers. 3D printing allows manufactures of various products to make better cost saving decisions when it comes to producing their products. 3D printing has also become more affordable, allowing the general public the opportunity to purchase their very own 3D printer; and manufacture out of their own home.
3D printing at home is not only about making toys and games. Many people are now designing objects to house sophisticated electronics. Many companies have used 3D printers to design not just plastic products, but metal parts used in surgical procedures, the health care industry, for making hearing aids, etc.
In the near future, 3D printers may be as accessible to us as color copiers are right now. You would be able to go to the store and instead of making a single page photocopy, what you would come home with would be your own 3 dimensional copy.
In the world of 3D printing, one huge advantage is that complexity is a non issue. In present day manufacturing, the problem is that the more complex the shape, the more it costs to make, but by manufacturing products with a 3D printer, the cost would be the same no matter how complex a shape or structure you had to construct. 3D printing makes shapes that up until now, were only present in nature. 3D printing provides customization for prosthetics, medical implants, jewelry, clothing, etc. The Future of 3D printing may allow for the production of 3D printed food, electronics, and even human organs.
Multiproton microscopy which emerged in the mid 1990's , provided a way to image deep into live tissue samples. The problem was that it required a sophisticated laser technology called a femtosecond laser. These lasers were only available at large research institutions and universities, and required a physicist to constantly monitor and keep the system running. The Chameleon laser was designed to address this very problem.

The popularity and complexity of 3D printing is expanding and medical applications are growing. 3D printing has clear benefits in orthopedic surgery because 3D-printed implants can have shapes that match the shapes of the bone and tissues they are replacing. The mechanical properties of 3D-printed implants can be tweaked by making implants porous. Features can be added to implants to articulate them with other implants and reattach tendons and ligaments. 3D printing has also allowed orthopedic clinicians to replicate bones and joints using polymers. These polymer replicas enhance the understanding of complex deformities and can be used to rehearse surgical procedures.
Ola Harrysson and Denis Marcellin-Little are professors at North Carolina State University. Harrysson is based in Industrial and Systems Engineering and Marcellin-Little is based at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Both Harrysson and Marcellin-Little are also active members of the NC StateCenter for Comparative Medicine and Translational Research (CCMTR). Harrysson and Marcellin-Little have been collaborating since 2002 to develop orthopedic applications of 3D printing, primarily for dogs and cats. They use metal and polymer 3D printing extensively within NCSU’s Center for Additive Manufacturing and Logistics.

3D Printing Medicine | Industrial Revolutions

3D Printing technology is finding a host of medical applications. CNBC finds out how 3D pr...

MediPrint's 3D-printed NovaCast is breathable and lightweight, could replace itchy, smelly plaster casts in the future. Plaster casts have been common tool in a doctor’s arsenal for centuries. But like any medical tool that has been used for centuries, it’s not exactly foolproof. The accumulation of sweat and dirt and a lack of ventilation can cause infections and significant discomfort, so why not find a 21rst century alternative? That is, in essence, exactly what one Mexican startup is doing. Founded by a group of graduates from UNAMUniversity, MediPrint is working on the already patented NovaCast, a 3D printed customizable alternative for casts that can be washed and weighs up to ten times less than plaster.
Like so many startups, MediPrint actually started when one of its founders came across complications in his day life. “The project started when my mom had an accident at work and broke her left hand. They put her plaster cast on wrong, and they had to surgically fracture her hand again to replace it correctly. Unfortunately, they again placed the splint wrong and finally diagnosed her with 50 percent disability in that hand,” said co-founder ZaidBadwan. Badwan therefore assembled a team of UNAM graduates that also includes Andrés Souza, CarlosHansen, Ulises Martinez and Nahme Pineda, with plenty of engineering, management, entrepreneurship, business, programming, 3D modeling and printing experience between them.
As Badwan, who has a background in Mechanical Engineering, explains, plaster is actually not a very hygienic medical material at all. “The material with which conventional splints are made is plaster, which is highly hygroscopic. This means that it absorbs sweat and causes the bacteria to proliferate because there almost no ventilation,” he explained. In worst case scenarios, you can lose a limb because of the complications caused by ulcers. Sometimes bones do not properly heal due to badly placed casts either.
That’s exactly why the NovaCast is such an appealing alternative. Made with 3D printing, it is not only ten times lighter than cumbersome plaster casts, but it is also removable, visually appealing and can be personalized. Most importantly, you can bathe with it, preventing the accumulation of bacteria. While some medical professionals rely on 3D scans or CT scan data to generate 3D printable medical accessories, the NovaCast is actually generated by an algorithm. “It only requires that the doctor enters the data, before it automatically generates the ideal geometry for 3D printing,” Badwan explains. Not only does this save hardware costs, it also means medical professionals won’t have to work with CAD software while they should be working with patients.
Because the NovaCast is so thin, it can be 3D printed in just three to four hours, depending on the size of the limb and cast. “We are currently doing research and development to reduce that time to one hour. The next steps are bringing this technology to hospitals and increase the number of 3D printers,” Badwan says. “We are getting advice from several specialists provide medical backing, and we are also still constantly searching for new solutions to the problems that people face every day when they require a medical device,” he says. It is expected that the final device will be around a third cheaper than existing alternatives – perfect for the poorer regions of Mexico.
The first results of their work are already paying off. Several months ago, they helped an elderly lady who was expected to spend a year in bed after breaking her hip. “We did a 3D scan of the lady and create a medical device that is perfectly adjusted to the shape of her body. It was reinforced with carbon fiber, which made it lighter and more resilient. The doctor approved it and the next day after placement, the patient was walking again,” Badwan said.
Though their NovaCast is still under development, MediPrint recently found a big boost on Mexican crowdfunding platform fondeadora.mx, where they raised more than $8000 USD to extend their 3D printing capacity with a high volume 3D printer. “Having a new printer will allow us to have more machine time, which we will use to continue their research, modify and improve their machines and avoid the unfortunate dilemma between producing or continuing innovation,” they say. The startup has also received financial backing the Mexican National Entrepreneur Institute Inadem, and have also found success in a competition organized by the Society of Former Students of the Faculty of Engineering of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), winning 150,000 pesos (more than $8500 USD). All those funds will be used to increase their 3D printing capacity.

Scientists Use 3-D Printing To Create Living Human Body Parts

Three-dimensional printing has advanced into the realm of human body parts. Researchers with the Wake ForestInstitute for Regenerative Medicine have announced in a recent study that they have developed a special 3-D printer that is able to produce what they call “living tissue structures.”
Three-dimensional printing has advanced into the realm of human body parts.
Researchers affiliated with the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine have announced in a recent study that they have developed a special 3-D printer that is able to produce what they call “living tissue structures.”
Specifically, the parts they have been able to create through this method are ears, jawbones, and muscles.
The key to Wake Forest’s system is their printer’s ability to extrude a mixture of hydrogels, a substance with human cells in it, and materials which provide structure but eventually dissolve.
As such, it allows for the formation of sponge-like channels which can be used to get nutrients to interior cells; in previous efforts, the cells would often starve and die.
According to the press release, ahttp://www.bbc.com/news/health-35581454fter the structures were implanted in animals, they “matured into functional tissue and developed a system of blood vessels.”
It goes on to state that the results are promising for the potential viability in humans.
However, this possibility is still years off, as is the ultimate goal is to create custom parts for specific individuals.

Amazing Items Made with 3D Printers

Mind blowing creations from 3 dimensional printed objects.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Ever sinceJohannes Gutenberg invented the printing press around 1439, we have been obsessed with creating the perfect printer to preserve and put our ideas on paper. The printing press was probably one of the most innovative and life-changing inventions as it made literacy more accessible. No longer did people have to write and transcribe thousands of pages, one at a time. But instead, books like the Bible could be mass produced at a quick pace. Over the hundreds of years since Gutenberg’s invention, the printer has evolved into devices like the typewriter and the laser jet printer. But today, in the 21st century, the printer has taken a dramatic turn that will change our society just as much as Gutenberg’s printing press changed his society: the 3D printer. This isn’t science fiction, this is the real deal, and it’s coming to a home or business near you.
The 3D printer is a technological breakthrough that involves a computer communicating with the printer to create layers as it “prints” a 3D creation from the computer. Layer upon layer is laid down as the object comes to life. Stemming back to the 1980’s, the 3D printer has gone through many trials, tests, and breakthroughs, and they are now becoming available to the regular household market. Today, you can do more than make a 3D printing of that flower you designed on your computer. People have started to print functional guns, cars, and houses. All it takes is some patience and intricate design. This can be both good and a bad thing, especially since guns can now become available to nearly anyone who can print them at home.
In Japan, 3D printers have become available on the streets where people can have 48 cameras take a photo of them, and then create a little 3D figurine of themselves. It’s quite an interesting device and people can create 3D figures of celebrities, animals, objects, and more. 3D printing can even create food, and nursing homes are taking advantage of it because they can create softer foods that look like real food. The 3D printing world has also made a huge impact in the medical field, as custom prosthetics can be printed as well as other body parts like bones. This will be able to cut the cost of manufacturing prosthetics and can make body parts more accessible to the disabled. Speaking of the medical field, just like how food can be printed, doctors are also experimenting with the printing of medications. Pretty soon, you won’t need to stand in long lines at the pharmacy and you can print your medications instead.
Believe it or not, this is just the beginning of the 3D printing world, and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Just like how the internet slowly crept into our lives, this amazing type of technology will likely be in every household in the next decade. It truly is looking like our lives will be something out of a science fiction film or comic.

Ultimaker 3 Extended Detailed Review for Medical 3D Printing

Embodi3D's Review of the Ultimaker 3 Extended FDM printer for medical 3D printing. The video starts with unboxing and setting up the printer and then move onto to 3d printing several anatomical structures. The Ultimaker 3 line of 3D printers have a large build volume and dual extruders, which allows use of water-soluble support material like PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) for 3D printing. This is very promising for medical applications because anatomic 3D prints are usually large and have complex geometries. This is a detailed review that discusses the setup and real medical 3D prints from this printer. Pros and cons are discussed in detail. This review is a must for anyone considering purchasing an Ultimaker 3 Extended for medical 3D printing.

The Ultimaker 3 Extended is the subject of this review by Dr. Mike. Presented by embodi3D.com, this video provides viewers with helpful information for deciding if the Ultimaker 3 Extended is adequate for their needs. Dr. Mike begins by unpacking the box and setting up the device. The focus here is on medical 3D printing beginning with unboxing and setup, all they way through printing several medical models.
This analysis measures the potential of the Ultimaker 3 Extended for 3D printing medical models. As Dr. Mike explains, the complex geometry and large size of 3D medical models makes printing them more complicated than 3D printable engineering projects.
The Ultimaker 3 Extended is a fused deposition modeling or FDM 3D printer that utilizes two extrusion cores. Taller than the regular Ultimaker 3 by 3.9 inches in vertical build height, the dimensions of the Ultimaker 3 Extended are 8.5. x 8.5 x 11.8 inches (21.5 x 21.5 x 30cm).
The cost varies among the supported printing materials, which includes filaments made of nylon, PLA, ABS, CPE, and PVA. Solubility in water makes PVA an excellent option for support material in 3D printed models, as it can easily be removed by being submerged in water.
The Ultimaker 3 Extended is ready to print layers as thin as 20 microns after some minor assembly. In addition to Ultimaker 3 Extended itself, the retail price of $4300 also includes 2 rolls of filament, a power cable, a glass build plate, and more.After a walkthrough of the steps to setting up, Dr. Mike demonstrates the capabilities of the Ultimaker 3 Extended.
Dr. Mike uses silver PLA with water-soluble PVA support for the lumbar vertebra done in the first example and the celiac artery done in the second example. Both of these small models are successfully 3D printed by the Ultimaker 3 Extended!
An obstructive piece of filament causes an error between examples 2 and 3, but this is overcome.
A full-sized brain is the third example. Success on this model is delayed until the 7th attempt due to mishaps like running out of materials during printing, build plate adhesion issues, and a possible software crash.
The final example is a tall lumbar spine model. This effort is also plagued with errors, including a near catastrophe where the glass plate is nearly ejected from the printer! After this happens twice, Dr. Mike aborts his attempt to print the lumbar spine model.
Using the Ultimaker 3 Extended led to a success rate of 21.4% (3 successes/14 attempts). Dr. Mike lists the large build volume, inexpensive material required, availability of water-soluble material, and good performance on short prints as pros of the Ultimaker 3 Extended.
The unreliability on tall prints, slow speed on full build volume prints that can take up to a week, high maintenance and supervision requirements, and glitchy firmware are the cons Dr. Mike gives for this 3D printer.
The magic of creating 3D printable medical models begins with the right device! This review on the Ultimaker 3 Extended and Dr. Mike’s other resources on embodi3D.com can help viewers make the best choice when choosing a 3D printer.

UPDATED TUTORIAL: An easier and faster method of making bone STLs https://youtu.be/c3LgY0W5QSo
Link to prior tutorial on selecting a good scan for 3D printing: http://goo.gl/SDkShX
In this video tutorial, you will learn how to convert a medical scan, such as CT or MRI, and convert it into a 3D printable model using free and open source software Osirix, Blender, and MeshMixer. This tutorial is part of a series. You can learn more about 3D printing of medical scans here: http://www.embodi3d.com/tutorials.htmlDr. Mike returns with an in-depth tutorial on how to get the most out of medical 3D printing software. The free 3D printing programs Osirix, Blender, and Meshmixer are used and explained. Packed into this video and tutorial viewers will find detailed steps of how to turn a traditional DICOM-based medical image into an STL file ready to become an incredibly useful 3D printable skull medical model.
This guide on converting a DICOM medical image into an STL file uses Osirix, which is a program exclusive to Macintosh operating systems. Those using Windows or Linux may still find useful information in this tutorial, but system-specific guides for these systems are on their way. Be sure to keep an eye out for them! In addition to Osirix, files will also make stops in the programs Blender and Meshmixer on their journeys to becoming 3D printable medical models.
Before getting started, Dr. Mike directs viewers’ attention to the file pack provided. This contains the skull image that is used in the demonstration, making it a must-download for those who want to follow along exactly with Dr. Mike to produce a high-quality skull model for 3D printing. Definitions of DICOM, STL, and Osirix are provided, as well as an explanation of why DICOM files must be STL files to be printed as 3D medical models.
Dr. Mike starts by having users open their DICOM files in Osirix. From this point, there are some technical instructions to which viewers will want to give close attention. The specific directions accompanying each step should leave viewers without any points of confusion and feeling comfortable using features such as the Region of Interest (ROI) tool to measure Hounsfield density as they segment the skull image to create a new series. After walking viewers through creating a bitmapped series using a skull CT scan, Dr. Mike shows users how to complete 3D surface rendering of the image to generate an STL file from it using Osirix.
When Osirix finishes converting the file to STL format, the next destination is Blender, a free open-source 3D software program. In Blender, Dr. Mike walks users through essential tasks such as centering the 3D object in space, cleaning up the mesh, and smoothing the surface while providing helpful details, such as what a “Blender unit” is. As with Osirix, several of the steps in Blender can be a bit complex, so viewers not comfortable with this program will want to tune in closely!
The final step makes use of Meshmixer, another free software package that is a must-have for these types of projects. Dr. Mike shows users how to inspect their 3D printable medical image for defects using Meshmixer as they complete the last steps required to convert a DICOM-based medical scan to an STL file needed to make a 3D medical model ready for printing!
Before closing, Dr. Mike directs viewers to other indispensable resources he provides, such as additional must-see tutorials and 3D medical models already in STL format ready to be printed!

democratiz3D application: http://www.embodi3d.com/democratiz3D/
Creating bone models with 3D printing from CT scans is made simple with this can’t-miss tutorial by Dr. Mike. Completing the conversion from CT scan to STL file can be achieved quickly using the free programs 3D Slicer and democratiz3D along with Dr. Mike’s detailed instructions. This new method replaces expensive commercial software with an easy to use online tool called democratiz3D (it was called Imag3D but was renamed after this video was publshed). Instead of taking months to learn complicated software, democratiz3D allows users to upload their file and within minutes have an STL file ready for medical 3D printing.
Use of democratiz3D is limited to those who have a free embodi3D member account. Not only is signing up for embodi3D fast, easy, and without cost, but members also gain access to a plethora of benefits. Supporting file packages containing example files for this and other tutorials by Dr. Mike are among the perks that come with being a member.
To begin the process a CT scan file is needed. The CT scan contains the DICOM files which are then convert to an NRRD file and are processed into an STL file. If you don’t’ have a CT scan, a sample chest abdomen pelvis CT in both DICOM and NRRD formats is available to embodi3D members. This package is part of a huge online library containing HIPAA-friendly files that can be downloaded and used for medical 3D printing projects. Patients or physicians wanting a 3D printable bone model of a specific image can check with the imaging department of the facility where the scan was done.
Before converting files with democratiz3D, viewers will need to use 3DSlicer found at slicer.org. Slicer is free software used to change the CT scan from the standard DICOM format to the anonymized NRRD format necessary for conversion to an STL file. Additionally, NRRD files are preferable since the entire medical imaging study will be stored as a single file instead of multiple files, as it is in a DICOM format.
After the file is converted from DICOM format to an NRRD file, it is ready to be uploaded into democratiz3D on embodi3D.com. With democratiz3D, users will complete the conversion of their CT scan file into an STL file that can be used for printing 3D bone medical models. Only 10-20 minutes should be needed before notification comes that democratiz3D processing is complete. Dr. Mike provides guidance for viewers through the entire process. After democratiz3D has converted the NRRD file to an STL file, viewers receive final instructions for selling files on embodi3d.com or sharing them with the embodi3D community.
Several aspects of creating 3D printable bone models from CT scans may seem daunting. Medical 3D printing can cost thousands of dollars and take months of training. Dr. Mike eliminates the steep learning curve and high cost by offering this reliable and free method for creating STL files from medical images. You can go from DICOM files to a 3D printable STL bone model file in very little time with democratiz3D and Dr. Mike.

ScienceDocumentary: 3D Printing, 3D Imaging, UltraFast Laser Imaging Technology3D printing is a revolution of the digital age, affecting both manufactures and consumers. 3D printing allows manufactures of various products to make better cost saving decisions when it comes to producing their products. 3D printing has also become more affordable, allowing the general public the opportunity to purchase their very own 3D printer; and manufacture out of their own home.
3D printing at home is not only about making toys and games. Many people are now designing objects to house sophisticated electronics. Many companies have used 3D printers to design not just plastic products, but metal parts used in surgical procedures, the health care industry, for making hearing aids, etc.
In the near future, 3D printers may be as accessible to us as color copiers are right now. You would be able to go to the store and instead of making a single page photocopy, what you would come home with would be your own 3 dimensional copy.
In the world of 3D printing, one huge advantage is that complexity is a non issue. In present day manufacturing, the problem is that the more complex the shape, the more it costs to make, but by manufacturing products with a 3D printer, the cost would be the same no matter how complex a shape or structure you had to construct. 3D printing makes shapes that up until now, were only present in nature. 3D printing provides customization for prosthetics, medical implants, jewelry, clothing, etc. The Future of 3D printing may allow for the production of 3D printed food, electronics, and even human organs.
Multiproton microscopy which emerged in the mid 1990's , provided a way to image deep into live tissue samples. The problem was that it required a sophisticated laser technology called a femtosecond laser. These lasers were only available at large research institutions and universities, and required a physicist to constantly monitor and keep the system running. The Chameleon laser was designed to address this very problem.

3D Printing and Orthopedic Surgery - Science Cafe

The popularity and complexity of 3D printing is expanding and medical applications are growing. 3D printing has clear benefits in orthopedic surgery because 3D-printed implants can have shapes that match the shapes of the bone and tissues they are replacing. The mechanical properties of 3D-printed implants can be tweaked by making implants porous. Features can be added to implants to articulate them with other implants and reattach tendons and ligaments. 3D printing has also allowed orthopedic clinicians to replicate bones and joints using polymers. These polymer replicas enhance the understanding of complex deformities and can be used to rehearse surgical procedures.
Ola Harrysson and Denis Marcellin-Little are professors at North Carolina State University. Harrysson is based in Industrial and Systems Engineering and Marcellin-Little is based at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Both Harrysson and Marcellin-Little are also active members of the NC StateCenter for Comparative Medicine and Translational Research (CCMTR). Harrysson and Marcellin-Little have been collaborating since 2002 to develop orthopedic applications of 3D printing, primarily for dogs and cats. They use metal and polymer 3D printing extensively within NCSU’s Center for Additive Manufacturing and Logistics.

3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping in the medical field has gone from "why" to "how". If you have any questions about 3D Printining the medical field, this super-informative webinar will answer your questions and bring you up to speed with a brand new technology.
